Hi everyone!!

Good luck to all - it's slowin' down!!

Good for you Steve!! I agree about the walking, it feels so good to be ABLE to walk I'm trying to do it ALOT more lately. Just 6 months ago, I could barely walk around the block without joint pain and feet pain. I'm loving life...

Everyone seems to be doing so well! I started this on October 2 and was 302 that morning and now weigh 192, that's 110lbs down. My goal is 150. I have just started excercising again since I had hernia surgery 4 weeks ago. I started wearing a 26 and now can fit into a size 16. My jeans are still an 18 since it bothers me to wear something close fitting on my incision since it basically was the entire orginial incision that herniated. I am planning a trip to Florida in the middle of June and would love to be a size 14 by then, maybe even a 12. I haven't seen my sisters in two years and she is freaking out just by my most recent picture so it will be nice to see her in person.

Karen! Your life sounds just like mine!! LOL I have three small children and I swear sometimes they drive me crazy! My husband eats such spicy foods all the time that he is killing me with his gas! LOL And my mom does the same thing with "anyway..." but she also uses the phrase "to make a long story short...". LOL
My weeks goal is to take a walk everyday. So far I have done it (today and yesterday).

Stacy I think you are doing fantastic!!!! I think we read these stories of some people that lose so much so fast and we want it to be us, which it will but maybe it will take a bit longer. I am confident I will meet my goal of 150 but maybe it might take me a bit longer than orginally thought but like someone else said, if we didn't have the surgery 6 mos ago we wouldn't even be here! And where we all are compared to where we were 6 mos ago is INCREDIBLE!!!! Hang in there Stacy you'll be celebrating again soon!

Congratulations to all my October siblings on your awesome achievements
I weigh in once a month on my anniversary and I weighed in last night and I lost another 10 lbs which brings me to 198!!!! I am so excited to be under 200. I don't even know when I was under 200 I think I was a teenager. I just started fitting in a size 12 jeans and 14 dresses. I am so thankful to be blessed with this surgery. Blessings to all of you.
